TRAGIC: Olivia had to deal with "too much, too young" according to her dad [ROSS PARRY]

Olivia Glennie – who outwardly seemed happy – was hiding worried about her looks and an on/off boyfriend.

The 15-year-old was found hanged from a tree in woods by a dog walker in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, in September last year.

She was given CPR and taken to hospital but her parents were faced with the devastating decision to turn off her life support as her brain damage was too extensive. She died in hospital five days later. Now her dad Alex has said the pressures she dealt with in a 24-hour environment was “too much, too young”.

He told the Daily Mail: “I can’t say what was going through her mind, I don’t think anybody in this world can.

“Maybe people need to be more aware of the signs with teenagers in this day and age. With the internet and mobile phones and Facebook, I think they are getting too much, too young. It’s a cultural change.

“Children are growing up so quickly. They have a lot of pressures, these 21st-century pressures.”

An inquest this week revealed how talented dancer Olivia was dealing with insecurities hidden from her parents. A friend confirmed that’s he would self-harm, cutting her hip, adding that she needed support from her peers following a difficult breakup.

It said: "We were absolutely devastated to be told that our beautiful daughter would not pull through; it brought unimaginable pain.

"All our hopes and dreams for her were shattered, gone.

"She must have been at a really dark place at that time. This is something, as a mother, I wish I could have helped her with."

Friends had been supportive of her when she was down and did not think she was suicidal. The inquest heard that she was distraught at splitting from her boyfriend and had also fallen out with a close friend.

One said: "I definitely didn't think that Liv was suicidal...I felt I had talked through her problems. I told her that when she got to college it would be better."

Paediatrician Gerry O'Hare told the inquest that self-harm was common in women but that self-cutting was not a strong indicator of suicidal intent.

Assistant coroner Mary Burke recorded a narrative verdict, concluding that she had doubts that Olivia had intended to take her own life.

She said it was possible that Olivia believed that she would be found before her actions proved fatal.

The family have taken comfort in the fact Olivia’s organs have helped three people live happier lives.
